I found an article yesterday on the Yahoo page about this place...i had to see more!! From what I learned yesterday this was one of the Withdrawl rooms they put patients in as they came to the place..they had a nurses window to observe them..once they withdrew the drugs from theyre systems,they would be allowed to go in to the regular population..I feel very fortunate to have found this plase...captivating!!

Dear ilovehoseyrides. There were a lot of horses affected by the hurricane. Check some of the equine rescue websites if you want to adopt. I think we even got a few up here in MN. No hurricanes, only tornados and blizzards.

Mr. Motts, I too was suprised when you said the new construction was not elevated. Many of the older stuctures in New Orleans are elevated because the people knew the place was prone to floods and was a stinking morass in the wet seasons. Many of the old plantations had the main house elevated and quite often the "lower level" was left open or only partially enclosed and used for storage. Even the graves are elevated. One would think they would wise up. I also think the lack of rebuilding is due to the 9th ward being in natural flood basin.
Thanks for the pictures. I can't say enough about your fantastic galleries.
